1001 Albums Summary

Heard it a million times but it's still catchy and influential.

Interesting. I can see how it could be so influential at the time. The mellow drone punctuated with manic screams leaves you in a tense meditative trance. Love the last song, Che. Very powerful and somber dirge to close the record.

Pretty good. Somehow noisy and catchy at the same time, despite how distant and weird it can initially seem. I can see this one growing on me.

Not my thing, but pretty good for what it is.

Not every song reaches the highs of the classics, but it's still a remarkable album from Prince.

Just great! Catchy, groovy, and tons of variety in music and themes. I already love the house music of this era, and this is on another level.

Not my thing, but very good. Not at all obnoxious as the typical contemporary country we hear today. Maybe a bit too chill and somber, but the song writing is otherwise great.

Not usually my thing but I've been enjoying it quite a bit. Smooth yet upbeat enough I can work with it and not get drowsy or distracted.

Good, but far from McCartney's best. What may be intended as something more grounded and organic comes off as a little off-the-cuff and underproduced.

Very original, though nothing really resonated with me personally.

About what you'd expect if you'd heard James Taylor before. I don't consider myself a fan but I actually really enjoyed it. Good performances and writing.

Great variety of 80s pop and a sort of jazzy sound. Lots of soul and great singing!

Well this one was utterly fantastic. I was expecting to write it off immediately just based on my personal tastes but the writing, sincerity, emotion and it top-notch stuff.

Classic for a reason. Cinnamon Girl will always be a stand-out for me.

This one didn't do a lot for me, unfortunately.

This one didn't do a lot for me, unfortunately.

Subtle, moody and intriguing. This is the kind of Cure I like.

I think some devil's lettuce would greatly enhance the listening experience of this one.

Surprised I never heard of these guys before. Energetic, original, and fantastic. Up there with the best I've found here so far.

We'll sell you the whole band but you only need The Edge!

Not a fan of her voice and not a lot of variety here, unfortunately.

I dig it. Album had a solid flow and variety to it. Some cooler, jazzy moments and folksy rock moments.
